STOP GLOBAL WARMING
They Say Things go Better with Coke
Global warming is affecting animals so drastically that animals, like polar bears are becoming basically extinct, so do things really go better with coke?
The truth is that the world is changing. Over heating. The problem is that the warming trends are beginning to affect our animal kingdom by disturbing their life. This affect is obviously impacting certain areas greater, like the Arctic and Antarctica. Since animals here are more accustomed to colder living styles, the warming weather is impacting them much more. A great example would be the polar bear.
Polar bears live in the Arctic and are completely reliant on sea ice, which is vanishing much faster than ever expected. They use the sea ice to walk on to hunt for food, like seals and fish. However, since the ice is depleting, the polar bears are forced to swim longer distances than ever before, sometimes up to four or five days straight. Imagine that! Imagine yourself having to swim for five days straight without food, water, or any land nearby to rest on. You would die within the first three days.
This depleting ice is also causing polar bears to find alternative food sources. They are attacking animals that they usually have nothing to do with, like small whales, and walruses. These attacks are very unsuccessful for polar bears. They cannot swim as strong as whales, but since they are starving they try, which uses the last of their energy, and they die of exhaustion. When polar bears attack walruses, they have a hard time singling out one single animal because a herd of walruses work together to defend against a predator. Polar bears often come out of a walrus hunt exhausted and injured.
From this warming, another problem is resulting. Since the weather cycles are rapidly changing, polar bears are becoming confused. The new weather cycle is completely disrupting their entire life routine. Polar bears are waking up from their hibernation too early. For every week of winter lost, due to global warming, adult polar bears lose twenty-two pounds because their food supply is so scarce. Thinner bears mean fewer cubs. Starting to get the picture? Not so cute and cuddly is it?
Since 1980, sixty-five species of harlequin frogs and one hundred and twelve amphibian species have been knocked of the surface of the earth. Polar bear numbers have been cut in half since 2000. This rate has been blamed on the climate changes that we have created by our selfish lust for more technology and improvements to our already over improved lives. This new wave of technology, factories, and expensive vehicles caused Global Warming.
However, my problem is that people seem not to care. We continue with our busy lives, not caring about anything else than to get to where we are going and to be on time. No one stops to think about how our materialistic lives affect polar bears. Maybe in is time for our corporate Canada and corporate America to consider protecting a species that proved to be such a profitable sales tool. They say things go better with Coke. For the sake of the polar bears, let’s hope so.

Stop Global Warming
Lets all face it; the earth is changing because of humans and globalization. Everyone knows it, but many just ignore the fact that we are killing our earth. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. All of this carbon stays in the atmosphere and acts like a blanket, which hold the heat in. Probably many people are happy that the world is going to be warmer. Think about it, shorter and milder winters, and longer summers. Isn't that what everybody wants? But the fact is that, if global warming continues, there are going to major consequences. Weather may be warmer, but it is going to be catastrophic. Human activity has been adding alarming amounts of pollution to the environment, which is causing shifts in the weather patterns. These major shifts are causing severe heat and drought, floods and much worse. A huge worry that is now on the mind
